<p class="MsoNormal">It looks to me that NCL is
concatenating your first dimension when the data is read
in via addfiles, and thus indicates that each data file
does not have a time dimension as part of
the vic_lake_depth_inst variable. By default, addfiles
will cat the leftmost dimension of all input files. But it
can also be used to join the files together creating a new
leftmost dimension. See example #2 here:<o:p></o:p></p>
